Visas and Migration
Before engaging a migration agent, we recommend you read the following information about migration agents operating outside Australia
VISAS - LODGEMENT
Counter Opening Time
- The immigration section opens from 8:30 – 11:30am. We advise clients to arrive early. Due to security arrangements, client access is limited. We encourage lodgement by mail/courier (must pay by bank cheque, cash is not accepted). Applications can also be lodged without a passport. A valid passport must be received before a visa decision is made.
Student Visas
People wishing to study in Australia in 2009 should:
- Call/email the immigration section to make an appointment to lodge your application.
- Applications must be lodged at least 12 weeks before your course starts. We recommend you lodge 16 weeks before.
- Research the requirements on the immigration website www.immi.gov.au
- Download a student visa application checklist and supplementary form this page (below)
- Applications can be lodged with a Letter of Offer from the Australian University. A confirmation of enrolment (COE) is not required at lodgement.
- If you are waiting for your academic or IELTS results to be released, you can lodge your student application without the results. You should provide them when results are available.
